Chapter 99: Haruko Vs Hiro Part 2
Upon witnessing Hiro using the unknown technique of the Hyuga Clan's ultimate defense, Haruko felt her anger rise once again. It was always the main family that received all the resources, while the branch family worked the hardest, yet reaped none of the benefits.
"Hahahahaha!" Haruko laughed maniacally. Anyone who had seen Madara's laugh in battle would feel as though she was his daughter. How ironic perhaps marrying Uchiha Setsuna had taught her to laugh like that. In modern era the laugh would be known 'the psycho laugh of Uchiha clan'
"Look at this, everyone our so-called young heir. They learn all the secret jutsu, all the strongest taijutsu, but during the war, they would hide in the back," Haruko scoffed, before turning her gaze to Hyuga Naraki. "Naraki, didn't your parents die in battle, protecting the Patriarch?"
Naraki felt a pang of bitterness as he recalled how his parents had sacrificed their lives to defend the main family.
"The main family learns the strongest defense something they called 'Revolving Heaven' and it is to protect themselves from ninjutsu," Haruko mocked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Heaven? Is it called that because they feel safe inside it? Hahahahaha."
Setsuna, who had been observing, could sense that beneath Haruko's words, she was crying and grieving inside. In their five years of marriage, he had never seen her like this.
"Haruko..." Setsuna muttered softly.
"I want to ask our young heir here," Haruko continued, her voice filled question. "Why is it that even after learning all these powerful taijutsu techniques, you still hide behind us? Why do so many of us die protecting the main family?"
Hiro, didn't feel pity at all but he felt nothing except anger.
"It is your duty to protect the main family, to preserve our bloodline. Without us, you are nothing," Hiro retorted coldly.
"Alright then, how about we switch roles? We'll seal your forehead with the birdcage seal," Haruko offered with a bitter smile.
"How dare you! Our blood is superior than you who were born later especially guys from branch family," Hiro shot back, pointing at her.
"Look at that, he claims his blood is stronger. To prove you wrong, I'll defeat you here and now," Haruko declared before charging forward.
---Strongest Kunoichi---
This time, Haruko coated her hands with lightning chakra and even infused it into her legs, allowing her to move much faster. Hiro, who was prepared to deflect her attack, failed to stop her as she struck him with the Juken (Gentle Fist).
Unable to counter her attack, Hiro was thrown backward, coughing up blood.
"Impossible, you weak woman!" Hiro exclaimed, unable to believe Haruko's strength.
"I told you," Haruko said calmly. "Your wealth, status, and privileges were given to you simply because you were born earlier, not because of any talent."
Refusing to listen to her any longer, Hiro decided to use his strongest technique.
He attempted to mimic Haruko, channeling his wind chakra into his palms and feet.
"This is my ultimate power, traitor! Hakke Hyakunijūhachi Shō (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms)!" Hiro launched his attack, utilizing an exclusive technique known only to the Hyuga main family. It was a rare form that required extreme precision and stamina to block 128 tenketsu points.
But instead of dodging, Haruko took the hits, with every tenketsu point struck.
"Hahaha, look! This is the difference in power between the main family and the branch family!" Hiro boasted.
Suddenly, the beaten figure of Haruko disappeared in a puff of smoke—it had been a clone. Haruko stood untouched on the other side.
"Shadow clone?" Hiro exclaimed in shock. "How is your chakra volume the same?"
"Just because you have access to the main family's techniques doesn't mean you're on my level," Haruko replied. "Now, I'll show you my strongest power." She began forming hand seals. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Her clone began to form a swirling blue ball—the Rasengan—while Haruko herself infused wind chakra into the sphere.
Everyone looked on in shock. It was the first time they'd seen not just a Rasengan, but its upgraded form—the Rasen Shuriken.
The ball expanded, taking the shape of a shuriken.
"It's beautiful," Hyuga Kari said in awe, marveling at the concentrated chakra rotating in the massive blue sphere. The sight of the Rasen Shuriken was even more breathtaking when viewed through the Byakugan.
"Try to block this with your ultimate defense taijutsu," Haruko challenged, sending her clone forward.
Her clone sped toward Hiro with incredible speed.
"This is bad," Hiro muttered. He quickly used his taijutsu to block it, but the power of the Rasen Shuriken was overwhelming.
Boom! Dust exploded into the air.
Setsuna used a wind jutsu to clear the dust, eager to see the aftermath.
Hiro's broken figure lay on the ground, his hands bleeding, with his cells damaged by the attack. Setsuna knelt beside Hiro, checking his pulse. Fortunately, he was still alive.
---Hashirama intervene---
He then used Fuinjutsu to seal Hiro's heart. The first seal was to prevent him from committing suicide, the same one Madara used on Obito. The second was designed to remotely kill him.
If Hiro ever decided to betray Konoha and leak its secrets, Setsuna could activate the seal to end his life instantly.
Today marked the beginning of Hiro's suffering. No one wanted to marry him anymore. Not even civilians were willing to marry someone branded as a useless man.
Suddenly, a figure could be seen running towards them—it was Senju Hashirama, the Hokage.
"Setsuna, what happened here?" asked the Hokage.
'Should I tell him everything or not?' thought Setsuna. 'Never mind, I will just tell him everything.'
"Hashirama, this is the result of bullying and torturing others," Setsuna said.
"What? Who was bullying whom? Who's the victim?" Hashirama asked.
But before Setsuna could answer, Tobirama arrived as well.
Setsuna then explained everything to both of them—the truth about the Hyuga Clan, why he ran away to Uzushiogakure, how he learned Fuinjutsu, and how he helped the branch family escape Hiro's cruelty.
The more Tobirama and Hashirama learned about the Hyuga Clan, the paler their faces became.
Shock and anger surged through them.
More people began to gather, and Setsuna could sense the presence of the Uchiha and the Hyuga Patriarch approaching.
